Benefits of the Dead Sea salt

Dead sea salt comes from the Dead Sea which is the deepest saltiest lake in the world.

It is about 10 times saltier than the water in oceans. Because of this not many plants or animals can survive there and that's why it is called the Dead Sea (only tiny organisms live there).

The difference between regular sea salt and dead sea salt is that regular sea salt consists of approximately 85% sodium chloride, Dead Sea salt has a significantly lower sodium chloride content, measuring at just 30.5%. Instead, it boasts a rich array of minerals, including magnesium, sodium, potassium, and calcium, among others. These mineral components bring a wide range of advantages for both skin and overall health.

Here are some benefits of dead seas salt

Dead sea salt has remarkable abilities to hydrate dry skin. This is because it's naturally rich in magnesium and calcium. Magnesium helps attract moisture to the surface of the skin , keeps it hydrated and strengthens the skin's lipid barrier. Calcium on the other hand  reduces water loss and locks in moisture.  So, when you use Dead Sea salt, it not only adds moisture to your skin but also makes sure it stays there, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.

Cleanses and exfoliates skin

Dead sea salt makes a great exfoliator, because its small, gentle grains remove the old, dead skin on the surface. The good thing is that it's not too rough on the skin , so it's safe for many skin types. Using dead sea salt as an exfoliator is a simple, effective way to give your skin a healthy vibrant boost.
